A manager oversees a blue-collar environment where women and men work together. One day the manager hears two of the women describing to their male peers what they saw in a porn video. The women are clearly the instigators, and the guys don’t seem to mind, so the manager doesn’t make too much of it. He just tells them to knock it off. But weeks later one of the women gets laid off and she files a lawsuit for sexual harassment.

You may be thinking, “How could she possibly win since she was doing the talking?” That’s not the right question. The real issue is, “Why was the obscene sexual talk tolerated at all? Especially in a public area where multiple witnesses could testify that it was taking place?”

That’s what gave the female employee the traction she needed to FILE a lawsuit. Once filed, a lawsuit has to be challenged at great cost to a company. The most likely outcome is a settlement.
